National Review was tweeting tonight's Republican debate, but you didn't even have to read the comments to know how biased the CNBC panel was. I barely made it through the first hour and found the only highlights to be Marco Rubio's spirited performance, and Ted Cruz's excellent attack on the mainstream media.

Others were tweeting the debate, the tweets shown on the bottom of the TV screen, and Hillary Clinton of course said millionaires didn't need tax breaks. Does she include herself in that category?

Check out Hamilton's latest column, which includes news items such as this one: "Hillary e-mailed that Benghazi
was a terror attack the night it happened but she got away with blaming
it on an anti-Muslim video. House Republicans could catch Obama in a
motel room with a gun in his hand, a dead intern on the floor and fifty
million in Chinese gold, and they'd still blow it."

I just love reading Mark Steyn's columns celebrating Frank Sinatra's greatest hits. He talks about the composer, the arranger, the history of the song -- you name it. In this one, he discusses "Strangers in the Night."

The humorist's latest column includes such news items as this: "A Gallup Poll showed Americans
are looking this election for a president who doesn't just talk the
talk, but walks the walk. It's why people loved Hillary. In The Democrat
debate Hillary vowed to halt the excesses of capitalism, and she hasn't
charged three hundred thousand dollars for a speech since."

You have to watch this video and pass it on. It's called I'm That Jew and, as its creator Eitan Chitayat describes it, “[B]ecause of all the violence directed at us, the hatred, the
incitement to kill, the vile words, the missiles, the rockets, the
knives, the rocks, the deafening silence of the world that we all feel
right now – we should be proud of our heritage, accomplishments and
spirit.” And we are!

David M.Weinberg wishes Kerry would stay home, and writes, "There
was a time when Israel could rely on America as its ultimate ally, and
as a solidly honest broker in Mideast crises. Then came Obama and Kerry.
Their administration is more problem than partner. We don't need Kerry to fly here with admonitions for Israel and rewards for Palestinian extremism."

David French writes at National Review: "There’s never been a real solution for this cycle of violence
absent large-scale Muslim acceptance of Israel’s right to exist. But
until that day comes, we can at least acknowledge reality and oppose
evil. That means telling Abbas that he can hate Jews on his own dime and
that when Israel cracks down on the violence he encourages — as it must
— he can’t cry out to the United States for help. We don’t stand on the
side of crazed religious bigots.
But Barack Obama is still in the Oval Office, and that means he’ll find a
way to blame Israel. He’ll find a way to excuse jihad. And he’ll find a
way to undermine our own power and influence in the Middle East. Savvy
jihadists know this all too well. So when pondering whether to launch
yet another round of terrorist violence, they may well believe there’s
no time like the present. Sadly, they may well be right."

You must read Michael Fruend's column, #JewishLivesMatter. He writes,
"It is an intuitive anti-Semitism that is at work, one that speaks
volumes about those who cannot muster the minimal moral courage needed
to decry the murder of innocent Jews. We cannot remain silent. We dare not turn taciturn and allow this to
pass unnoticed. Let's raise our voices and shout from the roof-tops,
flood social-media and storm the fortresses of ignorance and anti-Jewish
bigotry. Seventy years after Auschwitz it should not need to be said, but
apparently it still does: Jewish lives matter too. It is time we remind
the world of this simple and unassailable truth.
Use the hashtag #JewishLivesMatter and spread this message at every opportunity."

End your Monday with some humor from Argus Hamilton, including this news item: "Oil and Gas Journal said oil
companies are lobbying Congress to end the forty-year-long ban on U.S.
oil exports. There's one problem. Some people worry that once the
Republicans are back in the White House and we are marked as an
oil-producing nation, we could end up invading ourselves."

The Weasel of the Week is WGN TV’s Production Department! PumaBydesign001's Blog explains: "My nominee for Weasel of the Week are the boneheads in the production
department at WGN-TV, Chicago who chose for last week’s news story on
Yom Kippur that horrible image of the yellow Star of David that Nazis
forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust." *sigh*

I was lucky enough to be able to watch some of Netanyahu's very powerful speechat the United Nations around noon today. As the Jerusalem Post described it, "Netanyahu slams UN's 'deafening silence' in face of Iranian threats to
wipe out Israel."

Unfortunately, as usual, nobody listens and nobody cares. Churchill was treated like a pariah for realizing the Nazi menace before anyone else, and Netanyahu is treated with the same contempt, especially by our own country. It makes me sick. While Israel recognizes evil, Obama negotiates with evil.
